A growing body of evidence suggests that the timing of meals plays a significant role in metabolic health, with late eating consistently associated with worse blood sugar control and higher cardiometabolic risk.
A new narrative review examining the relationship between meal timing and cardiometabolic health found that individuals who consume the majority of their daily calories after 5 p.m. show poorer glycemic control, lower insulin sensitivity and a greater likelihood of obesity and Type 2 diabetes. The review, which synthesized existing human research published through December 2025, drew from observational studies, clinical trials, and mechanistic investigations. According to reports, circadian rhythms dictate glucose metabolism, and eating late disrupts insulin sensitivity, raising the risk of diabetes [1].
